A little something that everyone could do for me!

Applying to College
1

<p>I am about to start applying to colleges very soon, and I need final opinions. Therefore, I am basically going to list my entire high school grades, scores, ECs...basically everything I've ever done in high school. And based on that, along with some specific college info, I would like each of you to list colleges that would seem fit for me to apply to (try not to list more than 5). </p>

<p>Cumulative HS GPA: 3.52 (weighted, sophomore year was a low point for me)</p>

<p>School Status: Private school, highly competitive and difficult. Located in Mississippi. </p>

<p>Test scores: ACT - 31, SAT - 2180, SAT II Math - 780, SAT II - Physics - 750</p>

<p>APs: Eurpean History - 2, Physics B - 5, English - 3 (did not take the course, just exam). Taking AP Bio and Calculus currently, and confident about getting high scores on those exams (I have an A in both classes). </p>

<p>ECs/Other stuff: Lacrosse, Tennis, over 100 volunteering hours at several places, school web design club, Latin club, Honor Roll or High Honor Roll all throughout high school. Also tutored a little bit, and have work experience with 2 different jobs. </p>

<p>College-Specific: I am aiming almost anywhere in the US, but preferably in mid-atlantic/northeast or in california. No state schools, and no liberal arts. I prefer an urban-suburban setting, and it is great if located near or in a major city. </p>

<p>States I DO NOT want to attend college in: Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, New Mexico, Arizona, N/S Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Florida, Alabama, Kansas, Oklahoma, West Virginia. </p>

<p>Also give comments or advice if you have any. Thanks!</p>

<p>Some other factors to narrow it down: H.S. Rank? Religiously affiliated (Y/N) Size of School (Big 15000+ students, Medium 2000-15000, Small less 2000), Any projected majors? Programs that must be available… </p>

<p>With your info as of now, I’d suggest Boston University (18,000 students, urban)</p>

<p>Our HS does not rank, but I am at least in the top 30% of my class. It is an Episcopal school (St. Andrews, if you have heard of it) and I prefer any size school, but not TOO large (over 25,000 undergrads) and not TOO small (under 2,000 undergrads). My major will be something in the sciences, like biology or physics.</p>
